Is the Windows Vista a big deal?

Everybody who gets vista will need to upgrade their pc for sure

I recently tested SP2 on my P4 2GH 512mb Ram and must say that it slowed down my system a whole lot and this was after a clean install with nothing else installed.

I sure can imagine what would happen after i installed vista, plus when its out they will find a whole bunch of holes giving microsofts trackrecord.

Why bother with something thats not even remotely finished, MS will retail it as quickly as possible to try and cash in.

Im sticking to SP1.6 for as long as possible

Just to give everyone a kick, I've recently decided to brush up on my C programming and have chosed DOS 6.xx to use as my environment.
For the procedures I am wanting to accomplish, this is much more stable.
